Won’t succeed here in the Netherlands then
I don’t think it’ll succeed in a developed country in general
Personal injury lawyers:
don’t mind if I do
If that’s too high a bar, then robotaxis are not viable.
AI companies: Our AI is so powerful, it could take over the world if we don’t regulate it
Also AI companies: Bike lanes scary
It can’t run a vending machine but we’re going to let it make life-or-death decisions.
That’s a shame. Back to human drivers then.
So it’s a dead end technology then? Got it. Get em off the road.
no problem, don’t expect me to respect driverless taxis then
I can fuk a car up pretty good, so they’ll learn how to “respect” me at least
Until the AI goes full-on Christine
Expecting people to not sabotage the rolling death machines “too high a bar”
But Waymo taxis are demonstrably safer than human drivers.
Maybe you’re thinking of Tesla who’s significantly worse than human drivers because they ditched LIDAR.
But Waymo taxis are demonstrably safer than human drivers.
… says research paid for by Waymo.
I know critical thinking skills are in short supply these days, but come on.
They don’t respect bike lanes…
Do they respect bricks?
Totally out of curiosity as I ask a lot of questions. I’m assuming these also have to be roadworthy. Can they drive with a light out or a damaged or a missing windscreen wiper?
What kinda damage would take these out of action for small period? Or cost the most in terms of repair?
Also if one had a ‘I support Palestine action’ sticker on it, would it be considered a car displaying a terrorist message?
They stop and can’t move again with a cone on the hood.
Do with that information what you will.
These cars aren’t looking through the windscreen. They’re covered in sensors and probably use LIDAR system to navigate. They see in the dark and through fog.
It’s fairly obvious where the sensors are located looking at the car. And because these cars are dumb as hell, it takes relatively little to disrupt their ability to tell the difference between say, a person the car has to stop for, and a cardboard cutout of Scott Bacula. Or a traffic cone, as another user mentioned though that particular exploit may have been patched out by now.
Drivers don’t respect the bike lanes either, in many cases. At least the driver-less cars won’t veer into the bike lane on purpose or throw things at bikers, both of which I have had happen to me.
We need a word for the singularity event when AI becomes more humane than fuckwits.
Unfeeling and uncaring but not malicious.
